Hello !
As I have mentioned before, I am using the german version of WinDigipet X. My german is "getting better" :), but still not as good as I would like. Therefore I read the english manual, and use the german software. Mostly this works very fine.
I have found very many typos and errors in the english manual. But as I am not english myself, I mostly have no problem understanding the meaning anyway. But sometimes I do have to look in the german "handbuch" to find out what is meant in the english manual. Hmm....
Anyway, just now I found one (two, actually) error in the english manual. In section 18.7.1 of the english manual, it says:
"Click with the right mouse button....."
The german manual says:
"Mit gedruckter Shift-Taste klicken Sie mit der rechten Maustaste....."
So the correct english would be:
"With pressed SHIFT-key, click the rght mouse button..."
I did a lot of testings and trials before I found the right answer.
In section 18.7.2 there is an identical error, the SHIFT-info is missing.
I tell you this, to suggest that you read the german "handbuch" if there are things in the english manual that seem strange or incorrect.
I do not have the english version of the software (was too long to wait for it), but I understand that there are som errors/typos there, too.
Beste regards,
Per.
PS: Just found one more similar:
In 18.12.2 the correct is NOT "A train number can be DELETED from a train number displayed when clicking with
pressed SHIFT-Key on the train number display in your track diagram."
The correct is (as stated correctly in the german "handbuch": "...pressed SHIFT-RIGHT-Key..."
These errors are important to be aware of. Among many others...

Hello Per,
I will check the English version of the software this afternoon as there may be sight differences in how they function.
Cheers
Hello !
THAT would surprise me a lot! The software should be 100% identical in use, in different languages. OK, let us know what you find.

Yes Per it is definately an error in the manual.. You have to press SHIFT and Right mouse button click to block the destination..
It is a pretty neat feature.. Great for those derailments (or when you need to repair part of the layout) where you want the layout to keep going, but you don't want any locos to to switch to the route until it is cleared...
Thanks for letting me know about it - I am not one to spend hours reading through a manual - just the bits I need to solve a problem that I am having..
